Description

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

From "master of clever misdirection" (Kirkus Reviews) Aimee Molloy, author of the New York Times bestseller The Perfect Mother, comes an irresistible psychological thriller featuring a newly married woman whose life is turned upside down when her husband goes missing.

Newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter are head over heels, and excited to say good-bye to New York City and start a life together in Sam's sleepy hometown upstate. Or, it turns out, a life where Annie spends most of her time alone while Sam, her therapist husband, works long hours in his downstairs office, tending to the egos of his (mostly female) clientele. Little does Sam know that through a vent in his ceiling, every word of his sessions can be heard from the room upstairs. The pharmacist's wife, contemplating a divorce. The well-known painter whose boyfriend doesn't satisfy her in bed. Who could resist listening? Everything is fine until the French girl in the green mini Cooper shows up, and Sam decides to go to work and not come home, throwing a wrench into Sam and Annie's happily ever after.

Showcasing Molloy's deft ability to subvert norms and culminating in the kind of stunning twist that is becoming her trademark, Goodnight Beautiful is a thrilling tale of domestic suspense that not only questions assumptions but defies expectations.

        August 3, 2020
        It’s no accident that more than one character is reading Stephen King’s Misery in this crafty page-turner from bestseller Molloy (The Perfect Mother). For starters, plenty of it—misery, that is—awaits newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter after their move from Manhattan to Sam’s upstate hometown of Chestnut Hill, N.Y., to be closer to his ailing mother. After a heady first few weeks during which Sam’s therapy practice explodes with women eager for face time with the studly psychologist, he disappears—shaking Annie to the core. But, in the absence of clear indications of foul play, his disappearance is a low priority for the local police, especially once they get anonymous tips about his major debts and possible affair with a patient of his. After some accomplished misdirection, Molloy flips the story on its head. The surprising revelations compensate for the book’s major weakness—readers not getting to know the most appealing character, spunky Annie, until late in the plot when she’s forced to turn detective to search for the husband she still loves despite his considerable flaws. Psychological thriller fans won’t want to miss this one. Agent: Elisabeth Weed, Weed Literary.

      • content: Think of a mash-up of GONE GIRL and MISERY. Listeners may suspect this mystery has an unreliable narrator due to the mismatch between the voice introducing the story and their assumptions about who is speaking. Revealing more would spoil the experience. Hang in there for this wild ride of a psychological thriller with expertly crafted twists and turns. Narrators Val Toomey, George Newbern, Marin Ireland, and Joel Froomkin masterfully perform their characters in individual chapters. Listeners will follow the story of newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter, who move to Sam's hometown in upstate New York in search of a simpler life and to care for Sam's ailing mother. Sam, a psychologist, thinks he has found the perfect office in which to set up his private practice. That's when the fun begins. E.Q.
